My only wish? Having a family to have a mom and a dad : Jordan, 9, moves a whole country after his intervention on television

Sylvie Claire / August 18, 2020

In the United States, the intervention of a 9-year-old boy on television moved the whole country and sparked a great wave of humanity.

It’s a story that moved a whole country in just seconds. Because when a Fox59 News reporter asks 9-year-old Jordan where he would like to travel to, he simply replies, "At an adoption party to have a home. »

One thing is certain, the little American does not ask for much. Even if he had three wishes, Jordan would only want one thing: "to have a family, a family, a family." These are my only wishes. I would like to have a family to have a mom and a dad. Or just a mom, or a dad, I don't care. That way, I'll have someone to talk to whenever I need them. « 

Words that have been heard. Because after telling his story (the boy has been living with a foster family since he was three years old), 5,000 adoption requests were made. “Several families had previously expressed interest, but decided at the time that it was not the right time for them to adopt. We therefore had difficulty placing it. I’m very excited about this and I’m very hopeful that a home will be found for this child, ”said the man tasked with finding a family for Jordan today.
